A Look Inside the Mind of an Olympic Champion

"I want to find ways to be faster in the pool. That is my motivation. I never say, ‘I want to win this medal and that medal.’”

I’ve said it a million times before, but I’ll say it yet again – The mind is what makes the difference.

If you take two people of equal or near equal talent, skill, ability and preparation, the one with greater mental strength, emotional resilience and better overall mindset towards swimming is going to perform better, achieve more and have a greater overall level of life satisfaction than the one who doesn’t.
